The development of electronic sensors and of small powerful computers, and their integration together have led to the development of what has come to be known as Industrial Measurement Technology (IMT). Industrial Measurement Systems feature one or more electronic sensors and a computer with powerful software. The software has three essential components: data collection, data reduction and data analysis. In the field of industrial surveying, the IMT system is the automated theodolite system, but other systems such as the laser tracker are on the horizon
